Tarp system for Dump truck

Hi, i have a truck that i use for landscaping, a 95 dodge 1 ton dually, cummins diesel with a 8 foot crysteel dump box with fold down sides. I was wondering if any of you have an idea about a tarp that i could use to put over the top of it. I really need one for the fall when i haul leaves and grass and stuff. I checked on a price for one and i got a qoute for like seven hundred dollars. Just seemed kinda steep. Any body have an idea or a picture of one. Cause i wouldnt have a problem building one. well, any help would help me greatly. thanks guys!!

Check the yellow page for awning co.'s. There's one around here that will make any size and shape you need.

Alot of guys in my area make giant bows out fo conduit and just pull a large tarp over it. Then you have the ones that build plywood boxes that are taller than the truck is wide. It's quite a site around here in the fall.

I purchased a Donavan tarp kit that i installed myself. It came with all the parts needed. I did make some modifications so that the handle folds flat against the cab shield. did not use the factory brackets instead mounted it right in the cab shield so it has a low profile. It also came with a handy pull bar that goes in the end of the tarp and has rollers on it slide down the sideboards over the load. The kit cost and modification I did to it cost me about $400.00 .

I'm not sure just how you would incorporate any rollup tarper with a a body that has folding sides. I'm in the same situation with my 5yd and I've settled on a tarp that is permanently attached to the cab guard and has bungies crimped into the D ringts so it's relatively easy to unroll and hook down. The other problem is that rollup tarps don't do anything for weather protection for a load and really don't cover enough to prevent blowout of material. They meet legal requirements for cover and that's about it.
